Please Answer (i)
![Q2 Consider the Cobb-Douglas utility function, u;(X, Y) = Xª Y' -ª for a rational consumer
i. Derive the Marshallian demand functions for X and Y.
ii. Use the Marshallian demand functions for X and Y above to compute the indirect
utility function and the expenditure function.
iii. Using the expenditure function obtained in part (ii) together with Shephard's lemma,
derive the Hicksian compensated demand function for X and Y.
iv. Suppose a = 0.5, Px = Py = $2, M (money income per week) = $100, find the
consumer's optimal bundle. Illustrate your results graphically as well.
v. If the government gives $10 financial support weekly for each family during the
COVID-19 lockdown period, how would the results be changed in iv? While
presenting the calculations clearly, illustrate the outcome graphically.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb205d1c1-868f-4c49-85ee-80377058aa7a%2F95af0d02-cf87-4b3a-9353-8d4352f13301%2F5tfd0eq_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
